oh please. i completed high school in pakistan on only moved to US for highjer studies.
your ranting is stupid. NOBODY STUDIES 4-5 a day after school, unless you cound the time ppl go take tuitions. (i don't consider tuitions as out of school studying)

studying consistently about 2 hours a day for the entrie year will prolly get you at tyhe top of the class.

then it will be a disaster

AW is dx9 . . . xbox360 is DX9 . . . PS3 is DX9

what's the deal with worrying about these new games? . . . they are ALL dx9 with SOME dx10 'features'

and if they don't run on CURRENT HW [i.e. a 6600gt/9800p] they will be financial DISASTERS.

Do Indians have a tough time retaining information that they need to study a minimum of 4-5 hours a day? That's pretty sad.

plz dont mention anything about retention, it makes me sad T_T;

No sane developer will release a game that requires dual core to run. You might not get the same performance with a single core, but it will still run. Also, the use of four threads does not mean it requires 4 cores to run optimally. Inevitably these threads must wait at one point or another for data from the other threads, so you may not even notice any improvement with 4 cores.

I think they need to reduce one 1hr of the study time so that they can study People skill

Would slove the call center issue

 

[JAG87]

jeez guyz, I think the quesion here is not about AW requiring dual or quad core, but its more like will it run on my computer?

well no, it wont run on your computer because its CRAP, just like your X1900 XTX is CRAP.

and hey, your poor, you study 4-5h a day, what do you want us to do for you? cry? show you a map of how to get to north america? jeez you should know how to since you study so much... actually, nevermind dont come here the last thing we need is more people with no brains like you. maybe you should try and get a quad core brain, and you will see that it will only take you 1h to study now instead of 4.

In that case, you should probably worry less about gaming and stick to studying. I really hope there are no computer related questions on the entrance exam.

He also said that it won't run on single cores except on P4 HT on which it will be crap

I just love it when you call stuff crap.

 

[sbuckler]

His question was a fair one, it's a shame the last few answers have been pretty abusive bordering on racist

 

[tuteja1986]

Its a long story Sbuckler boy :! you just haven't see his other thread.

 

[m21s]

Just because you cant afford the newest technology we all should suffer?

There will always be a point when something comes out that requires more than "what you have" and "what you can afford".

Thats life...get used to it.

I can't afford a Ferrari....Should they not make them?

I think it's great there coming out with games "vista" only and "quad core".

Does it force people to upgrade...maybe. But hey, people need to learn change is good sometimes, no matter how much you dont like it.

If you cant learn to live with new technology and stuff that supports it then this is not for you.

If we wait till the masses have quad cores, we wont be enjoying them till 2010! is that what you really want?

I do hate to say it but....You really should buy a console.


I for one CAN afford the newest technology and can't wait to take advantage of it.
I'm sorry i can't wait for some people to "catch up"

While I agree with you, and I certainly won't hold back from picking on akshayt a bit because of his posting history, the defamatory comments about India in general and the call center stereotypes are not really appropriate.

i don't see an aegia PhysX card in your rig.

. . . nor conroe
:thumbsdown:

some of us are not caught up in the HYPE as MOST of you are.

REALITY check.

DX10 is not here anytime soon in games . .. at LEAST 2 years off for full dx10 games

Vista ships with a DX9 desktop ., . . Full DX10 support is coming in the SP1 [or 2]

Multicore and phys X are not yet ready for primetime for gaming . . . again years off.

"next gen" Consoles are DX9 not DX10 . . . they will be programming for the LCD for another 5 years.

I said i CAN afford the newest tech. i dont always buy it.

I can tell you the sig will be updated once Quad core hits this year.
And the G80. And Vista!

I guess I pick and choose where to spend the money.

I'm sorry but that's quite the ignorant post there - there are several countries where people studying 4-5 hours/day isn't so unusual...and it has nothing to do with their capability to retain information.

we all do

i can also afford a new conroe system, WS LCD, g80's flagship [in x2, sli] and Vista - right now . . .

it will take some 'willpower' for me to HOLD-OFF upgrading until i deem my 'timing' is right.
:Q

 

[Capt Caveman]

Asshat, guess what? It's one game and you don't have to buy it. Eventually, a game would come out that will utilize multi-cores and here is one. It's called progress. For the money, you could have gotten a less expensive video card besides a crappy X1900XTX and used that money to buy a X2. You decided not to, so stop your whining.

I have read from official sources.

Also, a dual core costs atleast 200$ in India, which effectively means 1600$ over here because the purchasing power capacity in India is 1:5, something which costs US citizens 1$ of their salary, it is the same as asking an Indian to pay an equivalent of 8$ of his salary which anyways is not much.

Besides I am in high school preparing for my entrance exams which are not present in USA and in India you are expected to study 5-6hrs on a school day after coming back in the afternoon. So, there is no time to work either, and I am broke. My pocket money is just Rs.1500 which equals about 35$, so in India it is a huge sum for a pocket money for a child for most atleast but in America, it is nothing. To top it I can't upgrade anything and prices in India are often much higher than USA. A 1900XT 512 costs around $500+ over here and a 7900GT too costs around 350$.

I think you and the world has a squewed view of the amount of money people have over here to spend. Most people don't have that kind of money laying around to just drop on a CPU upgrade. The people that hang out on this forum ... maybe. But most people, no.

Sounds like you got involved in the wrong hobby.

 

[aka1nas]

By the time this game comes out, your single-core A64 will be completely obsolete.

 

[akshayt]

the game is coming in another 2 and half months, that is not a very long period of time.

 

[VooDooAddict]

Back to the real matter at hand. Alen Wake and the precieved need to have dual cores. I wouldn't worry about it.

It will be a while before Alen Wake is out. Reviews might even say it's not worth the hype and in the end is just a good benchamrking program. It's just one game that MIGHT require more then one core. You really don't yet know. The only thing you know right now ... don't pre-order it.

 

[TOAOCyrus]

Maybe the PC version is just to show off Vista and push new hardware while the 360 version is to make money.

There are people that study that much after school. I don't see why you're so incredulous. I didn't that much in high school but I sure did in college. Some people study that much even in high school.

Then there are the japanese that study a lot when they are taking entrance exams.
